Booked the hotel for eight, two per room for three nights. Hotel is just down the street from the Water Tower in Chicago. Great hotel, very clean, comfortable beds and nice linens. The concierge was a great help. No breakfast included though, but a nice little Keurig two cup coffee maker. This was a good location, close to the bus... More

Found the hotel to be very clean, staff quite friendly and well situated. Only complaint is the charge for in room Internet service. Why every mid price brand hotel gives service for free and upscale hotels persist on charging for something that is a necessity and not luxury is Rediculous!

I stayed in this hotel for a week from 26th of April 2012. I loved the location. Just in the center of the shopping streets Mignificent Mile, Oak street, Rush street etc with many high fashionable shops and good restos. The Hankook tower just the next building to the hotel, with fantastic view. It is 5-7 minutes driving to Millenium... More

The hotel is awful. The rooms are old. The walls dirty, the carpeting and all soft goods need to be replaced. All hard goods need rplacing, too. The bathroom too small and the shower did not work properly. They do not have a breakfast spot so your only option is room service-great option for business travelers....pls send up some coffee...

The hotel is in a great location and the staff was friendly. However there were many poor qualities. There was a stinky smell (like toilet vent gas) in the hall and at times in our room. There was no decent reading light by the beds. The front desk put me on hold and the concierge never picked up. There are... More

I enjoy staying at this hotel every time I'm in Chicago. I always have a clean & neat room regardless. The staff is helpful and accommodating. Yes, you don't have breakfast included in your fee, free wi-fi, or a nightly happy hour. So what? It's right next door to the Signature Room on 95th which is amazing to go to.... More

The Hotel is located well in Chicago, but that is the only good thing. The service in the frontdesk was bad, there is no breakfast, no free wi-fi in the rooms, the gym was a joke, my shower was not working and there was no worm water. The laundry service was not working.....so not a nice hotel!

Thank you for your review following your stay with us. I must agree with you our hotel is located in a perfect part of Chicago. There’s so many shops right outside our front door! Breakfast is provided through room service between 7am – 10am daily. Our front desk staff can also recommend some delicious restaurant for breakfast within a two... More

This hotel is a "dump". Rooms are designed like hotel rooms from 50-60 years ago. Everything is worn out; except the TV. Carpet had a huge wet area. Bedroom lighting was broken. Bathroom is so small that a person can hardly move in it without being hit by the door. Walls have no soundproofing; nearly impossible to sleep with all... More
